Journey Day 56

So tonight is the last night of summer vacation, and tomorrow starts a new part of my journey, called "junior year"! I'm excited, but at the same time I'm dreading it! It's change, and all change is scary and intimidating, but I all change cause growth, so I'm looking forward to that! I think I'm scared that I'll have a hard time staying on the journey with the busyness that is college. But I'm determined to continue growing! Tonight was such a strange night, I was the only cashier at work, and we got SLAMMED, and the wait for food was extremely long, it was simply stressful, and I had a bad attitude for the first part of the night. A few of the servers were not being helpful, and I was just angry with them! Well as I'm sure you could have guessed, I wasn't the only stressed out one, and it was getting to all of us. My head knew that I should let God shine through me, but I was mad, cranky, and emotional, and I let it all get to me. It took my boss talking to me about my bad attitude to make me realize I needed an adjustment. So from that point on I made it a point to smile more, and be more helpful and kind to the other people that worked there. And when I adjusted my own attitude, I felt better about my job, the customers, and my co-workers. Once I reminded myself that everything was for God's glory, it improved my night, and I left work encouraged instead of exhausted! It's amazing how God can transform your heart and your entire night in a mature of moments : )
